Ingredients
2.5 oz. Quality Tequila- Blanco or Reposado
1 C. Tomato juice
½ Fresh Lime-Juiced (Plus a wedge for garnish)
1/2 Tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 Tsp. Horseradish
1/4 Tsp. Tabasco sauce
1/8 Tsp. Celery salt
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
Splash of Jalapeño juice
Garnish
4 pre-cooked deveined, peeled with tail left on, medium sized shrimp-cooled.
4 large pieces of garlic or hot pepper cheese curds(We used Face Rock Creamery Vampire Slayer Curds, Garlic Cheddar Curds.)
4 Jalapeño stuffed cocktail onions (We used Dirty Sue Jalapeño onions.)
Chili Lime Seasoning for coating the rims of each shot glass (We used Trader Joe’s)
Items you also need
Cocktail toothpicks or skewers of choice
Dry ice - small chunks (optional- if desired for added spooky drama.)
Directions
Wet the rims of each shot glasses with a lime wedge and using a small plate with your chili lime seasoning on it, gently twirl the edge of each shot glass to coat the rim.
Combine all main ingredients in a shaker with ice, excluding garnish ingredients, and shake well.
Garnish each shot glass with a skewer of your trio - shrimp, garlic or pepper cheese curds, and an onion.
Optional- See notes first! Add a tiny chunk of dry ice to your shot glass or you can use a small dry ice spoon and serve quickly while the dry ice is active. Enjoy!
Recipe Note
For added drama- add tiny chips of food grade dry ice to each glass.
If serving with dry ice directly to glass- it's best to wait until it has completely dissolved before drinking.
Always remember to use tongs or a spoon when using dry ice- NEVER touch directly with bare skin- it will burn!
*You can also serve this in a highball glass- as 1 serving or double recipe for 2.
Enjoy!
